So if you need a pallet cleanser tonight, here’s my reading list, courtesy of @ELLEmagazine. (And shout-out to former Haymarket resident Harold Claros-Maldonado for the “Heavy Tales” story about @megaforce founder Jonny Z. Knocked that out in a day.) https://www.elle.com/culture/books/a39775332/shelf-life-danica-roem-book-recommendations-2022/

So cool to see my former boss @BrianKarem make the case for a national Shield Law -- just like he helped me pass here in Virginia in 2020 -- while discussing his latest book, "Free the Press." I'm really proud of what we got done together with HB 113: https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+ful+CHAP0650 https://twitter.com/BrianKarem/status/1483640643725496323

2) I stopped by Centreville Elementary School for the public hearing about Prince William County’s proposed Route 28 bypass (Godwin Drive extended). I shared my concerns with PWC DoT staffers at the first of two hearings, the second of which is tonight at @theMPCC. https://t.co/f3tIbwr35j

Tonight, I finished reading “Another Appalachia: Coming Up Queer and Indian in a Mountain Place.” Southern WV is *not* NOVA. Yet, while some of @AvashiaNeema’s essays are so distinctive to her life, her writing’s relatable if you know what it’s like being a misfit at home. https://t.co/3rQMPNJKgW

The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

So one thing I’ve done daily this summer is wind down with a book. No pixels — just paper & ink. The fourth one I’m working on — Dave Grohl’s autobiography “The Storyteller” — makes me smile so much, not just from stories about his music but growing up in NOVA. It’s a fun read. https://t.co/euGLQbKkiT

[The book] breaks down both the truths and myths of what different asanas and practices do and don’t do for the body... you actually read about a doctor who prescribes specific asanas (postures/poses) for specific ailments faced by his patients.
